LEAKERS WILL BE THE DEATH OF THIS COUNTRY

Is It wrong to expect some secrecy from one of the most secret administrations in history. Did they really have to leak the scenarios that are being studied by the administration in regard to ways that terrorists may attack this country. Obviously, it does not matter to the terrorists, because they already know what they have planned in this regard, but it does matter in regard to the other enemy of this country, namely the news media. These people will spread this information far and wide, thus allowing the terrorists to know what is being studied and which ways to avoid, so as to not be detected.
We know these days that if the news media gets anything of interest they usually tell everyone. This was not always the case, as there was a time when the news media was on our side. Now, I do not write this way in regard to all of the media, for there are many now who have chosen our side once more. By and large they are from Fox News, and they represent the will of their owner, who is conservative. They should stop saying they are fair and balanced, because it is not true, and besides it is not always necessary.
If Adolph Hitler was rampaging across Europe we know that many of our media would report on his actions in a non-involved way, what with their moral relativistic attitudes. However, common sense would allow most thinking individuals would understand that Hitler is evil and would not have to try and be fair in their assessment. This is what separates regular people from the news media, the simple attribute of being able to see right from wrong and good and evil.
The administration should find out who leaked this information to the news media. They should be fired and then prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, as they are giving comfort to the enemy. This should be written about , talked about, whatever it takes for everyone to know who they are so that their family can be harassed, and to let all future leakers understand that we will no longer allow people to go along unknown and unhurt after they do such a damaging thing to this country. These are the same kind of stupid people who would have not only allowed the terrorists in the door of a secure building, but would hold the door for them.
While the Congress is looking over ways to make the laws involved in home security more strict and enforceable, this should be one of many areas in which they should shine their light, so that they can see just how bad the laws are working. Whether it is the news media or regular citizens there should be a review of how the laws affect us all and what can be done to assist law enforcement to find the terrorists and end their careers before they get started. This may infringe on us all a little more than they already do, but truthfully, will it require another 9/11 or more than another 9/11 before we understand that even though it has been a few years, they still want to kill us and for whatever reason we have been lucky so far in not having another attack on our soil. We should not be relying on luck to keep us safe indefinitely and I hope that we will all support whatever actions are deemed necessary to continue to be attack free. My fear is that with civil liberties being infringed upon in some cases we will once again end up in a situation where we will be unable to see the danger coming and it will hit us right between the eyes, just as it did in 2001 with 9/11.
Please look to your children and see that what we do not will affect them as well and perhaps will be the difference between them living or dying in the event of another attack. This does sound like a rant perhaps, but I see it as more of a warning that needs to be repeated often so that we can keep it uppermost in our minds, so that we will not slip and let an attack happen again.
